“To protect means putting oneself in harm’s way for another, but forgoing the action required to move forward. This means waiting for the pain to come. In the moment, you are the wall that keeps out the invaders, but also wait to be broken down. So, why not be that wall that falls forward, making sure the invaders regret their attempts?”

Range/Area: Self
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 hour
Classes: Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
You generate and compact pure magical force, molding it into a weapon of incredible might. You create one simple melee weapon of your choice composed of pure magical force. It has the same weapon properties of its physical counterpart as well as the following features:
- It has a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls.
- You have proficiency with the force weapon, and you use your spellcasting ability modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for attack and damage rolls.
- As an action, you can make two spell attacks with this force weapon as part of the same action. On a hit, it deals its weapon damage and an extra 3d8 force damage. If both attacks hit the same target consecutively, the target must succeed a Constitution saving throw or be pushed back 10 ft., or be knocked prone if it is a large or smaller creature (your choice). On a success, the target suffers no other effects.
- You can teleport it back into your free hand if it is ever more than 5 ft. away from you. Otherwise, it hovers right next to you until you grasp it again.
At higher levels. When you cast this spell with a 6th level spell slot or higher, the bonus increases to +2, and the force damage increases to 6d8.
